RHPC!! We set up the course markers last night. It was so fun to be out on the trail in the full moon, sneaking around with flashlights. The night was beautiful. The morning topped it. The full moon still hung low in the sky cradled by the fat pink horizon. The sky was blue and the morning still and perfect as only a summer's day can be. My friend Chrysula from Australia, living in NYC (well, Connecticut) came and so I ran the 10 K distance with her. I really felt like running more and had hoped to run 10 total. It was fun to see everyone at the start. It feels like a running reunion. There was a little wind at the mouth of the canyon, but otherwise it was perfect temperature. I had a nice chat with Chysula and it was fun to see everyone. Lily won the prized red hot rooster. Said goodbye to Michelle in case I don't get to see her off to Hong Kong. Got a few more miles in running back up the trail to collect the trail markers. I'll miss Michelle.

Thanks for all your hard work Luz! You are amazing. I'm glad you got some good chatty miles in. Isn't that what this race is all about anyway? Thanks for the chat, I needed it.

I wish I could have run a few miles with you missy. We need to have a chat. You are just such a good girl and I know exactly 'where you are' right now. I've just spent the last few weeks re evaluating why I run. If I wasn't about to leave the state, I would come up there for some easy, slow, chatty running. Also, a reality check. Multiple marathons is hard on your body and it's not for everyone (I just decided for myself this year). Do what you do, and don't compare yourself to others. It's the kiss of death. Your body calls the shots, and it will bring you down when it's not going with your program. Keep on keeping on girlie. You are strong. Stay strong till I get back so we can have a nice chatty run and sort this out. XOXO

Thanks for all your hard work. Your pasta was DELISH. I still think you are so beautiful....just like I thought last year :)

I'm going to miss Michelle too. Sad.
